View Full Version : Pontoon Speedway
Bob W 12-15-2004, 09:28 AM Phill Can't wait for U to come down. We will have it ironed out soon and be having fun.
Sorry Heather, But Mike is right about Jay. U may not of liked him because he was so fast, but he was not a cheater.
Kevin, U are right it was a fun day.
racen4 12-15-2004, 09:36 AM Mike you are right. the fast guys work real hard to be fast and put in countless hours to make sure there batts ,motor, shocks, ect. are the best they can be. I know for a fact Jay was leagal all the time. I also know how much time he spent on this hobby. and lets not forget driving, the missing link. :p
Lets have fun and enjoy what we have for now, we'll get the rules sorted out Wed .
I hope to see some of the other racers out soon.

Mike@SteelCity 12-15-2004, 09:52 AM Hey!
Where is this track located? Do you have any pictures or a website?
Happy Holidays!
Mike
:wave:
BrentP 12-15-2004, 11:05 AM Hey Bob, it looks like the pictures got posted on the wrong page of your guys website. They are under the "Springfield" link instead of the "New Track" link. Are you guys going to post results?

tfrahm 12-15-2004, 11:39 PM Anyone measure the racing line? and/or what length are you using for dyno gearing purposes?
I know once someone said they thought it would be around 130' or so...?
BrentP 12-16-2004, 12:16 AM Anyone measure the racing line? and/or what length are you using for dyno gearing purposes?
I know once someone said they thought it would be around 130' or so...?Jason rolled it out Sunday & I think he came up with 131'. But to "fool" the dyno, I was using 123'. I really think I may have needed to go down another tooth so it could be closer to 120' for the dyno.

Joe Novak 12-16-2004, 10:27 AM Hey MK Sonny Brown came to Allens last nite and put on a clinic,62 laps 4.02 time really showed Klyber and them guys what was up!!! Was on a 64 lap pace for most of the race running the custom works car,said he was getting ready for snowbirds!!
BrentP 12-16-2004, 11:41 AM Hey Bob, it looks like the pictures got posted on the wrong page of your guys website. They are under the "Springfield" link instead of the "New Track" link. Are you guys going to post results?It's still not working I think the script needs to read "NewTrack" not "newtrack". It is very picky on exact script, capital letters do make a difference.

Mayhem Racing 12-16-2004, 07:15 PM Hope to make it over after the first of the year sounds like some good racing going on over there, planning a trip w/ Phil, John And D&D. Wth the holidays coming up make it tough to get there right now, but we will get there.
Oval Regional in March at Hobbyplex. Should be a good shootout.

philb1 12-16-2004, 09:14 PM Well, since MK TQd and won............
"He must be cheatin' cuz I'm cheatin' and he's beatin' me"
Matt Bayless 12-16-2004, 09:20 PM Mike kelm you have a personal message. Please get back to me at your earliest convenince. Matt Bayless
JBRACER2 12-16-2004, 09:46 PM Good run Mike! You must have had that cheater motor in the car:thumbsup:!
Matt Bayless 12-16-2004, 10:06 PM I know all this talk about cheating is problbly in fun,but I am going to end it because thats how rumors get started or continue.And that can ruina tarck and more importantly a persons reputaion You all know me and Know I am true to my word.no question their I Know.I raced with mike for years and many other fast racers and i know from my heart and learning form mike he dosnt cheat.You all should be proud to race with him.Even he dont say this upsets him I know it does alittle cause it dose me.And Im just a friend how gets to see his friend 4 times a year and I can see it in him.You see him all the time. And you should be ashamed not so see this as clearly as I do enough is enough. Matt Bayless
MK Race 12-16-2004, 10:18 PM Wow Matt, I think I'm going to cry. :) Thanks. I know these guys are just joking. :thumbsup: I don't know about Phil, he thinks it's all motor and batteries, and something about the setup. And Jay, well Mark and Todd took even more winds off the motors they got from him. :D
I really have to give a big thumbs up to Bob though. He was all over the back of me for the whole race and we never touched. Good driving. And a little help from Mark too.
Sounds like a good turnout coming this Sunday. The Springfield Il guys are coming down.
Hey Matt, save some of those pain killers for me too.
seaschorr 12-16-2004, 10:18 PM We have raced with a few times & has allways helped people out with honest answers!!!! I boils down to car setup & driving!!!! And a good motor never hurts!
Dave & Dustin Schorr
RIP, Fastlane hobbys, & Dads Back Pocket!!!
seaschorr 12-16-2004, 10:23 PM Im Talking About MIke Kelm.
MK Race 12-16-2004, 10:28 PM Thanks Dave, any of ideas help. Looks like you and Dustin are running pretty good.
Oh no, I just realizedI gave Bob a compliment on his driving Must need more sleep. Thought those were Advil that I took.
MK Race 12-16-2004, 10:30 PM Well downstairs to the dyno. Hey Randy what size wire are we using now???
Bob W 12-17-2004, 01:06 AM :)
Mike ..Thanks! It was fun.
I will have to book mark this page.:)
philb1 12-17-2004, 07:40 AM Geuss Bob already knew your rollout huh MK?
As far as cheating, I know Jay never did, he was just plain fast. That is why I loved racing him, learned a lot in a short time of chasing his car.
When my performance was questioned last week, I took it as a compliment.
Bob W 12-17-2004, 09:13 AM Phil Thats the last time I tell Mike my roll out.
Phil said
When my performance was questioned last week, I took it as a compliment
Way to go phil, thats is the atitude that everyone needs when there speed is in questioned. I know that I always take it as a compliment.
mullins 75 12-17-2004, 02:52 PM Theirs no cheating, their all fast! If you have to cheat to win, do you really win? You guys are all a class acted!
Jay was fast! and will be one of the guys to beat, If he ever comes back!

pontoongirly06 12-20-2004, 02:32 PM if dad's equalizer trays make it in by wednesday i think he may be racing...i might too if i get enough courage too. i dont have to work but i dunno bout dad. all i know is that he is spending too much money on christmas presents. Sadly none of them is or has anything to deal with r/c racing like the laptop a few years ago heh.
S Brown 12-20-2004, 07:51 PM Thanks guys, great new track, had a lot of fun down their. Racing with Randy all 4 minutes of the main was awesome. He showed a lot of patience and driving skill throughout the race. I know he lifted a couple of times when most what of drove it on in. Thanks for being a sportsman. If it ends up the other way around next time please know that I will do the same.
Hope to be down again sometime after the first of the year.
Merry Christmas,
Sonny
